Let me know if you need any help.

Got the edges cleaned up and I think it turned out pretty good. One panel down, and one to go. The lighting doesn't help the pics any as the colors are much brighter in person.

But definitely happy with the outcome....

Heres a pic of the finished passenger side compared to the driver side. Again...color is off due to the lighting inside.

The white adds a nice touch. Great job!

Thanks TJ.....I agree. Its just what I wanted to break up the color some.

[1963c-10]

Not much new to report. Got the driver side inner door panel painted & drying as of this morning. Will pull the glove box this pm and paint that as well. Rain in the forecast for the weekend, so I'll work on the front end getting repainted then since the rain has killed my turkey hunt this weekend.

I sure like the two tone door panels. Those are really going to make the interior pop!

Thanks a bunch Marke.....they are no fun to tape off with the bends they have, but it sure is worth the time and effort.

[1963c-10]

Inner panels done. I am thrilled with the new look. My camera isn't the best...it makes the lines look funny, but they came out great!!

Had a productive night last night. Got the framed door glass painted, seat tracks are done and the glove box door is sitting in paint as we speak, so should be able to unmask it all tonight. Goal this weekend is to finish the doors....glass and vents installed and new beltline all the way around for both doors and remove and paint the front end.

Carpet and seat if time allows.

That makes two of us TJ. Be nice to have the doors completed so I can remove the moving blankets covering the window openings. Be nice to hose off the cab also.

Those panels look great with the armrest installed.

Thanks bud!!!!

A lot done this weekend. Shifted gears in a little different direction and got the cab sealed up and I can now lock the doors also. Carpet and all under seat hardware mounted. Doors and glass complete (minus pass ext trim and mirror). Door panels and glovebox panel reinstalled. Driver side ext trim installed. And seat in....

I really like the metal lined glass. This set came out a 61. Little harder to install since more painted parts, but looks great in.

[1963c-10]

More of trim install. Doors hanging out just a tad due to new cab seals. Hope they'll compress enough in the next few weeks.

[1963c-10]

Inner panels in and carpet install

[1963c-10]

More carpet install. And got the ebrake lever repainted and installed. Also new ebrake cables front to rear.

[1963c-10]

And yes....seat is finally in

[1963c-10]

Shifter install

[1963c-10]

And where I left off yesterday. Will get on respraying the front end this week or weekend.

Looking good! That paint looks like it's still wet, nice job!

[1963c-10]

Thanks Jamie. The whole project has been built and painted under that carport. So I've gotten real lucky with the paint.

Whole truck is covered in a nice layer of NC pine pollen also. Need to get out and do a major cleaning. Especially the glass inside and out.

[1963c-10]

Upper and lower radiator hoses ordered from Napa today and just picked up the new shoes and cylinders for the rear. Have a stack of drums, so will drop two off to get turned.
